(Unofficial) Google Local Guides API

This npm package will give you functionality to get your contribution metadata from your google local guides profile.

This package will scrape the data on this modal for you:

Note: there is no authentication when using this package because it'll scrape your public profile page, which is accessible to everyone.

Quickstart

Installation

npm install google-local-guides-api

Usage

const ContributionMetadata = require('google-local-guides-api');

let contributionMetadata = new ContributionMetadata();

// This initializes your link into the response body -- has to be in async/await func
async function () {
    await contributionMetadata.init(link);

    // You can call get specific attributes like points
    let points = contributionMetadata.getPoints(); 
    
    // ...Or use getMetadata() to get all available attributes from you profile
    let metadata = contributionMetadata.getMetadata();
} 

What link are you talking about?
The link that you need is your publically available local guides link found here:
https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/

When redirected to that link, the rest of the URL will populate with your google local guide ID and other information.
You can just get the entire link and pass it in as the value as link.

If you want to have a clean link, this is the structure that you can use:

https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/0123456789  

The last path will be your numerical ID.
